Stake Holder Meetings

One of the guiding principles of the 2002 Farm Bill conservation programs is that they are locally lead.  Through stake holder meetings the public is given an opportunity to help local conservation leaders set program priorities.  These meetings are open to the public.  If your county has not set a date please continue to check back.  This website will be updated as soon as new meetings are announced.
